Its diameter is meant to be smaller than the diameter of the saucepan so it can fall into the pot and lay directly on the ingredients being cooked. This serves to trap flavours into the broth and ingredients as they simmer in the pot. The lid works by circulating and increasing heat underneath it while the broth bubbles up, cooking the ingredients quicker and more evenly. The higher temperature also works to concentrate flavours by evaporating liquid and caramelizing sugars in the broth. It also provides a barrier that will stabilize ingredients so they don’t break apart and require less stirring. The drop lid is key for this traditional Japanese way of simmering called “nimono” and will enhance any dish! When the ingredients start to boil, simply lay the drop lid on top and infuse your dish with the best flavours with ease. These lids can be used for any pot but are ideally sized for the Yukihira Pots found \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/nalatanalatasavings.com\/collections\/koizumi-studio\/products\/yukihira-pot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWood Drop Lid was curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker  \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eAmbai\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eMakoto Koizumi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall: 4.5\u003cspan\u003e”\u003c\/span\u003e (w) x 4.5” (l) x 1.2” (h) or 11.5cm (w) x 11.5cm (l) x 3cm (h) -
